Now playing

October 31, 2007

God help me, the new Guitar Hero has arrived Chez Pink. Good thing I am off to OMGsororitypartyWOOOO!* this weekend with my best girl because otherwise I'd be a Playstation widow.

* Yeah, about that: it's my sorority's "birthday" at our alma mater and the wee ones (you know, the ones who are still age appropriate for a sorority party, ha) are having BIG EVENTS!!!! for us oldsters. I had to make a hair appointment so I could at least cover the gray in my hair, ahem. Dude, where's the keg?

Ooh, I know only too well the shame of not having read a big number of important books. Here's the true reading confessions of a bunch of famous/famousish lit folks.

I think my biggest shameful omissions so far are Moby Dick (particularly egregious since I lived a stone's throw away from where it was written for 7 whole years!) and Charles Dickens in general, whose style I actually rather loathe. I am trying to be the bigger person and just read at least Great Expectations already, but ugh, it's just so yucky to me.

Happy Halloween, lambies. I woke up to our entire block being covered with toilet paper, hurrah! Our house was spared, I guess it's just the chance you take living on the same street as the elementary school, ha.

Anyway.

If you, like Mr. Pink & I, are sick of people at your work asking you what you are for Halloween when you're just wearing your normal clothes, try our patented stock answers!

The Source of the Outbreak

Cog in the Capitalist Machine

The Me of Tomorrow

Giuliani's 6th wife

Pre-op Transsexual

Faulknerian Idiot Manchild (Mr. Pink has been this for 4 yrs. in a row!)

If someone said, "Sarah, what do we have to do to get you to go to our movie for 110% sure?" I would answer something like, "Well, you can have it star Buffy and a former professional wrestler, make it a musical and have the plot be an end of the world dystopian vision. And in the trailer you release, please have the background music be the Pixies -- 'Wave of Mutilation,' if you can get it. Oh, and the guy from Donnie Darko, he should direct."
